MARRIAGE |
Jabir Narrated that the Prophet, peace be upon him, gave these instructions
in his sermon during Farewell Pilgrimage: "Fear God regarding women;
for you have taken them [in marriage] with the trust of God." [Mishkat]
Narrated Aisha, God's messenger said: "Among the believers who show
most perfect faith are those who have the best disposition, and are kindest
to their families." [Tirmidhi] Narrated Abu Huraira, God's messenger said: "The believers who show
the most perfect faith are those who have the best disposition and the
best of you are those who are best to their wives." [Tirmidhi]
Aisha has related that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, would enter
the house with a pleasing disposition and a smile on his lips. [Uswa-i-Hasana]
Narrated Al-Aswad: "I asked Aisha, `What did the Prophet, peace
be upon him, do at home?' She said, `He used to work for his family and
when he heard the call for the prayer, he would go out.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle, peace be upon him, said,
`The woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break.
So if you want to get benefit from her, do so while she still has some
bent.'" [Bukhari] Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `Whoever
believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor.
And I advise you to take care of women, for they are created from a rib
and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try
to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will reamin crooked,
so I urge you to take care of women. [Bukhari] Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As: "Allah's Apostle, peace be
upon him, said, `O Abdullah! Have I not been informed that you fast all
the day and stand in prayer all night?' I said, `Yes, O Allah's Apostle!'
He said, `Do not do that! Observe the fast sometimes and also leave them
at other times; stand up for the prayer at night and also sleep at night.
Your body has a right over you and your wife has a right over you.'"
[Bukhari] Narrated Ibn Umar: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `All of
you are guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian
and the man is a guardian of his family; the lady is a guardian who is
responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you
are guardians and are responsible for your wards.'" Men should forbear any shortcomings of women in view of the following
verse of Quran: Live with them in kindness; even if you dislike them, perhaps you dislike
something in which God has place much good. Qur'an
[4 : 19]
